Post on HOME

This could have been a much earlier post. In this I wanted to talk about Pokemon home the ups and downs of it. Not many people have still heard about this system, but it basically allows people to transfer Pokemon from past Pokemon games to more current games like Sword and Shield. Basically it works in this process: 

You begin by getting a membership or free trial in Pokemon bank for the 3DS or DSi. You then connect to any Pokemon game that is DS lit and up and move your Pokemon from the game PC to the Poke bank PC. Once completed you then open your switch and download Pokemon home. After this you can click retrieve from Pokemon bank on the switch and click send to HOME on the DS. It will then send a code that you will enter, it will then transfer your Pokemon to the HOME application. After this, you enter your Pokemon game, being let’s go, Shield, or Sword. Make sure you complete the tutorial first because you need to be able to save before using this application or none of it will work. Once connected you can drag your Pokemon from HOME into your Pokemon game continuing your friendship from a great game into a game that lacks a lot of challenge and plot.

Final Post

I feel that my relationship with technology is healthy because I use it for many activities along with gaining knowledge through using it. In many of my classes, especially now with converting to online classes, I use my computer or other devices. There are some things that I would like to point out that many people don't consider that often. It's that technology and non school related activities can actually teach you a lot that you may not be able to learn in school. Many times people have told people to stop using devices because it doesn't teach you too much. Those who think this way I don't see them as very smart people. One such example that people see as useful and noneducational is watching anime. Though what they don't realize is that it teaches you much more that you might learn by going outside or simply socializing with others. There is even an anime called Dr. Stone, where you learn an incredible amount about science and how it works. The reason for learning, there are many times where people need something to vent their anger and that's where video games can usually come in. They give people the ability to do stuff they wouldn't be able to do in real life, not giving them the ability to release stress that is placed on them. Many different technologies are used by most people throughout the day. Whether it be Xbox, computer, the Wii, PlayStation, DS, or even the new Nintendo Switch. While there are many people who choose to do outside activities, I feel most people would eventually use technology because even stuff such as iphones or androids can be considered forms of software. When necessities were turned into a type of software technology, it seems to have just simply been accepted into daily lives of everyone, even for those who didn't really use these devices in their younger days. Personally, I feel that people who include software a lot in their life can actually be much more intelligent and wiser than other people who look at technology with a negative outlook.

Week 16 Post

As everyone should be aware, summer of 2020 is beginning in only a couple days. This means for those who play Animal Crossing: New Horizon, big news is coming. Animal crossing is a game for the switch where you will work to build an island through gathering material and using currency to improve houses and progress through the game. June through September we will now be able to catch sharks so we could display them in our museums. This time has been what I’ve been looking for since I bought the game a couple months ago. From what they showed in a preview of the game it appeared that they had very good graphics and really made it look life-like. The museum is made up of 3 different categories, the bugs, sea life, and lastly fossils. You find fossils by digging them up, then choose to donate them, or just display them on your island. For fish and bugs, you can choose to donate them or display them in your house or outside. While catching bugs, digging up fossils, and fishing for normal fish will increase the quality and quantity of your museum I feel that placing sharks will increase how your museum will look by ten fold. Knowing that the time till there release is less than a month away only makes me more anxious and excited. The only thing that makes me nervous is if I catch all the sharks. Sometimes if you collect all of them or just repeatedly catch one kind it may lead you to get bored of it and begin to drift away from playing the game again. Personally I feel that I began to drift away when feeling like I wasn’t achieving anything new. Though this is all going to change in June with the newest update. Catching Sharks will change everything for me and I just can’t wait.
